Can PCOS affect my mental health?

Yes, PCOS can impact your mental health. Recent studies have found that those with the condition are 4 to 7 times more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety, and 3 to 6 times more likely to experience disordered eating. For most people, symptoms like excess facial hair and acne can also cause low self-esteem and confidence, really impacting their relationships and quality of life.
